B, In tbo Century, TnE WASHINGTON CRITIC, TUESDAY EVENING; MAX THE TOWH'S PHOTOOrtAPH. The denlli of Illslinp, the mind render, rccnlls to tho minds of, many Jttoplo it hcenc enacted In the lintlonal Tlientio nbout three yenrs ago. Anna Kvn Fny, with whom ho wns nt ono llmo nssoclnted ns malinger, wns adver tised to give rt spirlluallMlcpcrformnnco on Sunday evening, lllslion was In Iho city on his bildnl tour, nml 11 becniun noised nbout town that ho Intended to bo present and expose some of her tricks. Whether or not it was simply n clever advertising scheme will pcrlinpi never be known, but tho rumor had tho effect of drawing ono of tho largest audiences over seen In tho house. Tho mind-reader and his bride were there, occupying scats tndto close to tho stngo. For nn hour he kept quiet, simply tduugging his shoulders now and then nnd smiling quietly. At Inst tho old familiar Illusion of calling out tho mini beis of bills held In tho hands of somo into In tho nudienro while tho per former wns enclosed In tho cnblnct was tried, nnd several times successfully. DUhop wns on his feet In nn Instant, nnd tho house wns ns quickly In an up roar. Ho took from his pocket n big roll of bills, and In a, loud voico offered lo present them to Miss Fay if sho would glvo the correct aggregate amount, tho money to bo counted by somo dlslntcicstcd person. In a mo ment tho manager rushed over to whero JHMiop stood, nna Aims a ay was on tno stnge. Tho three were nil talking nt once, nnd everyone In tho house com menced to yell It wns pandemonium. At last n little quiet wns restored nnd the two men stood fnco to face, each )lourihliig n roll of bills in his hands nnd offering to glvo them up to tho other If bo could name the amount. Hcltbcr could do It, neither tried; tha house saw through the wholo thing; n pollcemnn mndo llishop sit down, nnd tho peifoimnnco went on, Ever since the horrible killing or tho school tcnehcr by her husband nnd his subsequent suicide, tho police hnvo been tolling storlcsof tho wonderfully nnrrow csenpes Allen hnd fiom being prevented from cnnylng out whnt wns probably his deliberate plan of murder nnd sui cide. At tho time of tho killing he was technically a prisoner nt tho works. That morning his bondsman had with drawn his bond nnd given him over to tlfu authorities, tho ball-plcco was mado out by tho clerk of tho Police Court, nnd nt tho very moment ho killed his wife nnd suicided tho olllccrs were look ing for him to servo the ball-nieco on him, If they hnd found him boforo I) o'clock the most horrlblo tragedy In Wellington's history would not hnvo been enncted. As It was, tho ball-plcco was served on tho suicide's dead body ns it lny in tho Morgue, by touching the document ngalust his hnnd. At midnight the night beforo tho murder, Policeman Coghlll saw Allen drunk on tho street on his bent, in tho Sixth pro duct, nnd told him that if ho didn't go homo ho would nrrcst him nnd chnrge him with vngrnncy. Allen stnggered nway in the darkness. Whenlhe police man went off duty nt 12 o'clock he told tho olllccr Hint succeeded him on his beat what ho had snld to Allen, nnd advised him to nrrcst him if ho wns still nbout the streets. Hut Allen hnd gono home, piobably with his murderous plan In his head, nnd know that Ills nrrcst would defeat it. The day of the killing Just beforo taking tho cnb to go and kill his wife ho inquired for Pollcemnn Ilallcy, who hu said ho wnntcd to get even with for nrrcstln" him somo time ngo. If he hnd found tho policeman ho would havo attacked him, and probably would havo been cither killed or locked up, for ho was despeinto that day, and the school teacher would havo been teaching tho little girls to-day. On tho way to the school to murder his wife ho stopped at Paulton's saloon for n drink. Ho was in nn ugly temper, nnd while In thobtr room stepped on n mnu's foot. Ho did not apologize, and asthoman was smaller than Allen, contented- himself with snying to him, " your big feet." If tho mnn hnd been big enough trl attack Allen, who was a big man, or if Allen had resented his profnno re mark about his fret, there would havo been a fight, nnd Mrs. Allen would not have been killed. Theso aro all tho narrow escapes from her husband's vengpnnco Mrs. Allen had, so far as known at present. They would delight -a fatalist. Mr. M. L. Mott ot Btratsvlllo.

Dlsttlct Attor ney,, leaving (ho fight now between Mr. Jnmes IJoyd and myself, says that Ills imposslblo to secure convictions for tho violation of tho election laws. That statement s erroneous and misleading. It casts an aspersion on tho juries of North Carolina, which I want to say aio ns fair and honest ns any juries in tl(o country. A U, 8. District Attor ney who will do his duty without rogarel tojhrcnts will sccuro convictions every time, Sir; Sclttlo is mistaken; It's not imposslblo to sccuro convictions. Tho reason convictions havo not hcretoforo been mndo Is duq to tho fact that tho United Statos Dlstilct Attorney lias not had the backbone to prosecute, and tho Democratic Inllucnco that surrounded tho District Attorney had tho desired effect.''
